Greetings all,

 

So this is my first blog, it took me a while before I found out how to make it.

But here I am!

 

Usually, the first episode of a serie is called 'Pilot' (right?), so I added 'Pilot' in the title of this first entry!

 

So, what did I want to talk about:

Greetings.

 

It's something I usually use to greet someone.

There are many ways:

- Hello

- Hi

- Yo

- What do you want?

- ...

I prefer the word 'Greetings'.

 

Why am I talking about this?

Well... Is 'greetings' acceptable as a greeting?

The reason why I'm asking is: I was playing a different game and was trying to buy something. Some guy was selling it and I wanted to know if there was an offer for the object already.

So I do as I usually do: Greetings, is there an offer for object X already?

Some chatting, blah blah blah.

I went on a different account and I saw that guy was buying something which I had. So: Greetings, how much are you paying?

His first reply: Hello. Are you (name of my other character)?

I was slightly shocked. How did he know? Not that it mattered, but I was completely surprised, the names of both characters have nothing in common either.

So I asked him: Yes. How did you know?

And his reply was: No one else uses greetings.

 

I was completely surprised no one else used it.

 

So, can 'greetings' be used as a greeting?

That's like saying "gegroet" (literal translation) in Dutch. Which sounds very old fashioned in my eyes.(Dunno about Belgium, could be different there :P)

 

I Just say hi, hoi, or hey. (Irl almost only "hoi")

So it's an old 'hello'. That's oké, I'm old anyways :)

Greetings!

Yeah no one says greetings. It's an accepted greeting it just takes that much less effort to type hi or hey than it does greetings.
